I'm doing daily quests in Wizarding World

Chapter 129 Dwarves (Part Two)

Black Mountain is the young lord of the dwarf tribe. He is thirty years old this year. According to the age of dwarves, he has just come of age, because the lifespan of an adult dwarf is about two hundred years.

From a young age, it has shown extraordinary talent; it can even distinguish the quality of the mineral inside a raw stone just by smelling it.

Its father told it that it was born to be the king of dwarves.

In their world, there hasn't been a dwarf king for five hundred years.

But before Black Mountain could even warm up the hammer that he had just taken from his father, a group of slave hunters rushed in.

They didn't kill too many people; they directly intimidated all their people with their overwhelming force. In the end, a group of elite dwarf blacksmiths from their tribe were chosen, and he was among them.

They wandered through various places, confused and disoriented, along with other members of their tribe.

Along the way, the slave-catching team used methods such as taming, coercion, and enticement, but most importantly, they relied on the slave contracts that controlled the slaves' lives. If they obeyed, they could live—and this survival referred not only to the slaves themselves, but also to their entire tribe.

Moreover, they might even have the opportunity to be valued by the wizard, thus benefiting the entire race from then on.

Then it's about imparting knowledge to them and teaching them their language.

I've been studying intensively in Montenegro these past few days and have learned some key points.

The humans in these slave-catching groups were extremely rude, beating and verbally abusing them for the slightest provocation.

Black Mountain was somewhat puzzled. Some of the members of these slave-hunting groups were also of different races. After being captured, they became the henchmen of those wizards. Why were they so loyal to those wizards?

Three days later, Black Mountain and his companions were taken to their destination, which was said to be the place where slaves were imprisoned. But here, Black Mountain saw many powerful beings. Some of these beings could tremble just by standing there and looking directly at them with the naked eye.

Even the Black Mountain region saw a legendary dwarf king here.

Black Mountain approached the dwarf king with reverence, hoping to receive some guidance from him.

But the dwarf king, who drank heavily every day, just burped and said, "Now that you're here, put aside all other thoughts and follow your future master. Hopefully, he'll need your blacksmithing talent instead of a bunch of experimental subjects."

Experimental materials?

Black Mountain thought of the ores that were hammered and forged; would the dwarves also use them as raw materials?

Upon hearing this, Heishan was somewhat dazed and confused.

In dwarf legends, the dwarf king is an omnipotent being.

They were incredibly strong and invincible, leading the dwarves to one glorious achievement after another.

But the dwarf king it saw with its own eyes was not like that at all; he was like a stray dog ​​with its spine broken and lying on the side of the road.

Watching Black Mountain's departing figure, the hill dwarf king, lying on the grass behind him, looked up at the sky with cloudy eyes. He picked up his wine jug, spilling wine all over the ground.

Returning to his tribesmen and seeing their expectant eyes, Black Mountain couldn't bring himself to utter the cruel words the Dwarf King had spoken. Even such a powerful being was still labeled a slave; how could he possibly lead his people out of their predicament?

Montenegro is in despair.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally couldn't bear it. "It told us to work hard," Black Mountain said.

Encouraged by Black Mountain, the dwarves diligently learned the wizarding language of the God Annihilation Continent.

Black Mountain was respected by the other dwarves because of its status, and because of its strong learning ability, it had already learned some simple spoken language in just a few days. Therefore, it was temporarily appointed as the leader of the dwarves by the slave-trading group.

A few days later, Black Mountain saw a young and handsome human being led in, and the slave-hunting crew that managed them suddenly became obsequious in the face of this human.

Before long, Black Mountain and his companions were told that they had been sold to the wizard in front of them, and that he would be their master from now on.

The slave contract was also transferred to Lynn, and from now on, this human would be the one who could decide their life or death in an instant.

Black Mountain and the others were taken away, following behind this human.

Because they didn't know Lynn's personality, the hundred-plus dwarves stood still, not daring to say a word.

"My name is Lynn, and I will be your master from now on. My rules are very simple: I will give you tasks, and you will complete them. As long as you complete them, there will be no other problems. Don't worry, these tasks are all crafting work that you are good at." Lynn said to the group of valuable dwarf slaves in front of him.

The group of dwarves in front of them lowered their heads and gave a noisy reply of understanding.

Lynn had been in the lab for the past few days and only had some free time today to take over these dwarf slaves.

Under the care of the Silverwing Merchant Guild, these dwarves seemed to be in good spirits.

Lynn held the list in her hand.

Unexpectedly, there was a dwarven heavy knight who reached the third rank according to the wizard's judgment standard, as well as a high-quality dwarf with some bloodline of the ancestral dwarven king.

Back at their lodgings, Lynn arranged for the dwarves to stay in rooms on the second floor below ground.

"Who is Black Mountain?" Lynn asked.

"I am." Black Mountain stepped out from the dwarf crowd.

Lynn glanced at him, a hint of surprise in his eyes. Compared to the other group of dwarves around him, who looked like horizontally growing muscle lumps, Black Mountain's appearance was undoubtedly very "out of place".

With its clean and delicate features, silver-gray curly hair, and a silver-gray mustache around its jaw, Black Mountain's most important feature is that its muscles are not exaggerated but rather very well-proportioned. Considering its height of only 1.5 meters, it still looks quite imposing.

The book states that the Black Mountain was found to have some of the bloodline of the dwarf king after being tested by the slave-catching team. Simply put, the dwarf king bloodline means having the bloodline of a certain dwarf king. If it can be properly nurtured, it may really become the new dwarf king.

"Who is Greystone?" Lynn continued to ask.

The remaining dwarves all looked at the strongest dwarf in the middle of their group.

This dwarf is nearly 1.6 meters tall.

While dwarfs are generally shorter than humans, they are not ridiculously short; the average height of a dwarf is between 1.3 and 1.5 meters.

They are called dwarves because the dwarf race has well-developed muscle genes. Even without much exercise, they will naturally grow into adults with strong and well-developed muscles. The horizontally growing muscles, combined with their not-so-tall height, make them appear even shorter.

"I am Graystone," the dwarf known as Graystone stepped forward and said in a deep voice.

"I've heard that your dwarf tribe has a custom where your names don't belong to yourselves, but to the tribe?" Lynn asked.

"That's right," Graystone said.

His father was named Gray Stone, and his grandfather was also named Gray Stone, so in his generation, he was also called Gray Stone.

Lynn nodded.

"I will select a group of dwarves who are most skilled in blacksmithing, and then select another group who are skilled in combat. The blacksmithing dwarves will be under Black Mountain's management for now, while the combat-skilled dwarves will be under its management."

Lynn pointed to Lauren, who was walking out from behind him.

The dwarves' expressions changed slightly. They looked at Lauren; were they going to be managed by a lizardman?

A hot-tempered dwarf was about to speak, but was stopped by Graystone.

After giving his instructions, Lynn left first. He hadn't done his daily experiment yet, and if he delayed any longer, the day would be over.

These dwarves are newcomers, and since they were bought, they're bound to feel resentful.

To prevent them from banding together and to settle Lauren, Lynn gave Lauren a chance.

Although it would be difficult for Lauren, who had undergone the modifications, to deal with a Tier 3 dwarven heavy knight, it wasn't impossible. The most important thing about a dwarven heavy knight is its mount, but it didn't have one now. If Lauren couldn't handle a knight without a mount, Lynn would have to put the opportunity aside.
